easyLanguage - Plain Language and Easy-to-Read Language according to DIN
Understandable content is a core component of digital accessibility. With easyLanguage, you can transform your texts directly within SiteCockpit using AI into Plain Language according to DIN 8581-1 or Easy-to-Read Language according to DIN SPEC 33429. Fast, efficient, and without additional service providers. Naturally GDPR-compliant and operated on a 100% European infrastructure.
Accessibility Goes Beyond Design
When it comes to accessible websites, many companies initially think of contrast, font size, and screen reader compatibility. However, one of the most common and impactful barriers is language itself: specialized jargon, complex sentence structures, and abstract phrasing exclude millions of people. This affects individuals with cognitive impairments, learning difficulties, a migration background, or simply those with little time. Since June 28, 2025, the Accessibility Strengthening Act (BFSG) mandates digital accessibility for everyone. Understandable language is a central building block of this requirement.

The BFSG requires accessible digital offerings. Understandable language is a core part of this.
Easy-to-Read Language and Plain Language in One Single Tool
easyLanguage provides two distinct modes that address different requirements for readability and comprehension. Both are directly accessible within the SiteCockpit backend, can be configured individually, and utilize the same AI credits system.
Easy-to-Read Language is designed for individuals with cognitive impairments, learning difficulties, or limited reading literacy according to the DIN 8581 standard. Following the strict rules of Easy-to-Read Language, texts are transformed into very short sentences, simple everyday language, and clear structures, including an optional table of contents and definitions for complex terms.
Plain Language targets the general public according to DIN ISO 24495-1. It makes texts shorter, more direct, and easier to understand without losing professional substance or critical depth. Ideal for government bodies, corporations, and anyone looking to truly reach their target audience.

What easyLanguage Delivers
easyLanguage converts texts into Easy-to-Read or Plain Language in an instant, featuring configurable settings, an automated glossary, and a seamless audit trail.
Individually Configurable
Before conversion, specify exactly how your text should be styled: gender-neutral formatting, preferred tone of voice, an automated table of contents, or an aligned glossary. All settings are saved and ready for immediate reuse next time.
Automated Glossary and Table of Contents
If desired, the tool appends a clean glossary at the end of the text with clear explanations of key terms, and places a structured table of contents at the beginning for maximum orientation within longer documents.
History and Text Statistics
All text adaptations are automatically tracked and can be reopened or copied at any time. The built-in metrics panel shows word and character counts before and after optimization at a single glance.
Settings That Make the Difference
Not every text, target audience, or brand voice is identical. That is why easyLanguage can be precisely configured before deploying adjustments. Your chosen configurations remain active for all subsequent adaptations until you adjust them.
-
Gender-neutral formatting: Select neutral terminology, explicit dual naming (e.g., readers and subscribers), generic masculine, or no specific constraint.
-
Reader address: Opt for formal address, informal address, or let the AI framework determine the ideal path automatically.
-
Table of Contents: The tool automatically generates a clean overview index at the beginning of the text layout upon request.
-
Glossary: Critical phrases are explained in plain language at the end of the content loop without disrupting reading flow.
From Input to Accessible Copy in Seconds
The user interface is intentionally simple: save your configuration rules, paste your copy, and click convert. That is all. The processing engine runs fully server-side on European infrastructure, guaranteeing no data sharing with external third parties, no plugin overhead, and zero wait times.
The final copy appears instantly within the backend interface. With a single click, copy the optimized layout to your clipboard for direct deployment into your CMS, email framework, or document repository. For every optimization run, the interface previews estimated AI credits ahead of time, ensuring transparent usage tracking.
